My mom makes gorikai masale palya which we all like. Other than that, I make this gorikai bhath. During a casual talk with my neighbor I asked her what else I could make with the cluster beans. She gave me this recipe & I prepared it the same evening. I liked the simplicity of this dish & it hardly takes any time to get it done.
She is from Raichur, and this is how she and her mom makes the gorikai palya.
Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 20-25 mins
Serves: 2-3
Ingredients:
- Cluster bean | Gorikai : 1 lb
- Oil: 1 tbsp
- Cumin seeds: 1/2 tsp
- Mustard seeds: 1 tsp
- Curry leaves: 3-4 nos, torn
- Red chilli powder: 1/2- 1 tsp
- Coriander powder: 1/2 tsp
- Garam masala: 1/2 tsp
- Turmeric powder: a pinch
- Roasted peanut powder: about 1/4 cup
- Salt: As needed
Method:
Trim the edges of the cluster bean & chop them fine.
Add oil to a pressure cooker. When oil is hot, throw in the mustard seeds & cumin seeds.
When the seeds crackle, add in the curry leaves. When leaves wilt, throw in the chopped cluster beans, salt, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder & mix.
Add about 1/4 cup of water to the cluster bean mixture & pressure cook in medium-high heat for it for 1 whistle. We do not want any water to be left after the vegetable is cooked. Hence add little water!
Allow the pressure to be released. Add in the roasted peanut powder & mix.
Serve it hot/warm with rice or roti.
Notes: Instead of using the pressure cooker, you could even cook it using the stove top method. The cooking time will increase if you are not using a pressure cooker. And you might need more water too!
As it's a dry sabzi, do not add too much water while cooking. We need very little water.
This is a basic North Karnataka Style palya recipe. You could make similar palya with other vegetables like ivy gourd / thondekai / tendli or french beans too.
You could adjust the peanut powder according to your preference.
